TX Hotchkis 6" Drop Springs - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

JonFrankMc · 12-12-2012, 10:00 AM

I purchased the Hotchkis Sport Spring kit and I'm selling the rear springs. The springs are new, never mounted. I am selling both rear springs, the provided hardware, and spacers.

The kit I bought is the 19390. These rear springs are on their website as 19390R. The description per Hotchkis' website:

Features:

*Specifically designed for maximum performance gain and a smooth comfortable ride
*6” Lowered Rear Springs, 380 lbs/in for optimum handling balance
*Rear Spring spacers are included for ride height adjustment of ½”

Benefits:

*Improved appearance
*Improved handling due to lower center of gravity.
*Increased traction
*Improved ride quality and feel
*Improve the looks, ride quality and control of your 1967-72 2wd C-10 pickup with a set of Hotchkis Sport Suspension Springs.

These springs have been specifically designed by Hotchkis to offer the maximum level of performance and ride quality. The rear springs lower the truck 6” with a rate of 380 lbs/in. These springs will offer a balanced feel and improved grip for any performance driving conditions. The rear features an added shim for ride height adjustment for those that desire less of a rear drop. Springs come in sets of 2 rear spacers, and are finished in gray powder coat. PROUDLY MADE IN THE USA.

The cheapest I have seen these available online is $180. It cost Amazon $39 to ship this exact package to me. I am selling them for $160 shipped. I would also be interested in a trade for 71-72 drop spindles (I could put some cash towards the trade)
